Robotics Hardware Engineer, Research and Development

Company Description

Locus Robotics is a leader in the rapidly growing eCommerce order fulfillment optimization space. Our solution helps warehouse owners attain 2-3X efficiency improvement over cart-picking operations, by empowering pickers to work collaboratively with our robots. All this is accomplished while integrating with the operator’s Warehouse Management System, utilizing, and optimizing existing facility infrastructure. 

As a Robotics Engineer at Locus Robotics, you will play a crucial role in developing and enhancing our autonomous mobile robot systems. This entry-level position is ideal for recent graduates or individuals with up to two years of relevant experience who are looking to kick-start their career in the exciting field of robotics.  APG is a small, forward-thinking group that evaluates product opportunities with 2–4-year roadmaps using emerging technologies.   The Robotics Engineer will design, build, and implement hardware components for robotic systems, assembly prototypes and test fixtures.  This role offers a unique hands-on component, providing you with the opportunity to roll up your sleeves and directly engage in the assembly and debugging of robotic systems. You'll gain practical experience, working side-by-side with experienced engineers, to bring cutting-edge robotic technologies to life.  This is a hybrid role but will require engineers to be onsite in our Nashua NH office for regular team interface and as job duties dictate.
